I think you just single handed prevented the scrapping and ensured the restoration of many old dirt bikes out there by making this film. I know it's inspired me to!!
I'm 51, had 2 strokes since I was 12. I Brought a CR 250 R 12 months ago and haven't looked back. It makes me feel young again. Yes there is a 2 stroke spell!!!
Yes, only old guys know how to bring back an obsolete bike with style. Great channel ! It's that time of the year with the SC season here and this old veteran got to get his fix and youtube is getting 'er done and this channel is setting the mode just fine. Thanks !!! Oh, and the dirt you got there in Aussie is amazing great place.
I just rebuilt my 2001 CR250R the other day for the 6000th time. I've got new bikes, but that bike is still my favorite. So light and perfect power in the woods and desert. Your right those bike can more than keep up with any of the modern bikes. Cheers!
Obtained my 00' CR250R in 08.. She'll be with me forever, no intention of ever getting rid of it. I grew up on 2t so for me this vid hit home, can't wait for spring!
so this Reimann is probably one of my favorites. he rides the big 4strokes but still appreciate the classics. I just got back in to riding after about 12 yrs off the bike, bought a 07 crf250 that now needs a motor after one season, pile of crap, however picked up 03cr125 and went frame off ground up only thing not changed or upgraded was swingarm, first ride last Sunday I'm 195lb and you can clutch the front tire up has a 134 kit in it and hinson clutch. I'll never not own a 2stroke again!
I got my first 2 stroke when I was 12. It was an 8 year old, 1996 McGrath cr250. And to this day I will always say that was my favorite bike and best bike I've owned. Yesterday I just went and re-bought her. The same bike from 15 years ago. I had the vin number and tracked her down in Michigan. I drove there from my house in NEPA. I will never let her go again. Luckily it seemed like the owners loved it as much as me. Just like I remember, it started on the first kick. I may have cried to see her again.
I'm 43 and started riding again 2 stroke 250 cr:s are the best bikes ever made once you have the addiction to the sound and pull of the bikes it never goes away....
Sickest dirt bike vids. Ever. Brilliant ride / bike concepts, brilliant content, brilliant footage and above all, epic riding. My 8 year old son is addicted to dirt bikes and constantly asks to watch your vids! Thanks Adam......legend 👍 Long live the two stroke!
I have a RM 250 of 1990 and i´m going to tell you... I have a Yamaha WR 450 too... but men i love the RM is so fun to ride it, so much power coming out of the little 250 engine... It never seems to want to stop... Ty for the video, big fan
I must admit, I almost got misty eyed seeing that 2stroke CR receiving all that love! Great to see people still enjoying the older 2 strokes! I still have my '93 CR250 from back in my racing days!
Wow, glad to see there are others out there who continue to build 2 strokes. I have 2004 CR250 and an 2004 KX125, ground up restorations on both, got an 01 KX250 that's on the bench! gonna be sweet!
There’s plenty of us in Cali . I can only afford two strokes . And a lot of people are happy when they see the bikes . It’s an old school thing . 2003 cr250 2002 cr125 . Medical bills and a big smile on my face .
That is an awesome video. Inspired. I started my two wheel dirt days on an R1200GSA. Fudging love it, but ready for something a bit lighter n narrower n more capable of my progressing aggressive off road riding. 1090 or 1290 for adv. But, when I see videos like this, I want to get a dirt bike too. One of these days. Dude, you are living the life. Thanks for sharing it n inspiring us. Cheers from an Adv bike nut in the US.
I ride an 07 husky 250. It's clapped out and worn beyond belief, but is so freaking fun! Braaaap. Love the two smokes.! She's old but I'll take it on any ride. Let's go ARiemann1!
1st of all omg so nice to see the CR and for that matter the RM come back to all there glory. Adam your a man after my childhood passionate heart! I’m so pumped right now after watching this one. My first bike a RM 50, My best friend was a CR man, but how can you not love any bike that sounds and ride like all these bikes do. I’m passed all that after 50 yrs. old. I’m thinking I must get back on the horse. Your movies have inspired me, I’ve watch for hours work today like you said so addicting I hope to meet you one day and bang out a couple laps or even a ride through the woods keep up the good work Mate. Nate Pate,Naples FL, USA
@@stevexxx6078 you can fix that lmao he just straightened it and gave it to sanding&chrome plating 2 times cheaper than a new pipe never heard of the word service?
I love the fact you ride honda, ktm, 4 strokes and 2 strokes. I have a 2001 cr250r that is absolutely amazing, as well as a 2015 300xc. 2 strokes are definitely my preference.
I got it so bad.....! Bought a 99 CR250R about 3 months ago, now I have 3 of them! One 99 and two 2000 models. When the one is ready the other is stripped to guts. Got to love the CR250R. I never knew this bike was really that good.
What a great video! You earned my sub! I got paralyzed from a 3-wheeler accident in 2000 and riding my dirt bike is one of the things that I miss most!
When I was about 10 yrs old we were at Livingston State Forest many will know this place near Wagga saw my first CR250 when a guy got on the pipe up through a gully roosted like 10 meters in the air amazing was hooked ever since. Picked up a 2001 CR250 yesterday.
That pipe did look amazing but I thought you could get the equivalent of a mid-90’s works pipe for like $250 these days. Maybe he wanted to keep it as original as possible and keep the original pipe.
I seriously want a cr 250. I have a 2016 crf 450 and i LOVE IT but at the same time 2 strokes are just so much fun in their own way. I personally wouldn't race one but they are great bikes to learn on and to rip around on.
Glad to see you back on the 2stroke!! I like your adventure bike films its amazing to see you ride one.. But your 2stroke films really make me want to go ride my 300xc!! Thanks for the motivation Mate!
I have an 02 and I’ve just started riding... only taken that bike out twice and I think I’m addicted... I usually ride a CRF230F but that CR250R is a whole other machine.
There is just so much more fulfillment bringing an older bike back from the dead. Sure you can buy a new bike, but when you revive one you make it your own. It feels special.
Awesome did man. 2007 still doesn't seem old to me and I can keep up with and sometimes beat the 450A riders on my 06 YZ250 and I'm 34, a beaten n broken 34. Idc if I need a walker and a lift to get on my bike, I'll never quit riding.
Nathan Farrugia Good brand young man and best of luck to ya. I'd be buying one for my son but he just outgrew his 65 so he's getting used to his YZ85. Can you believe the 65 is more expensive than the 85?
hey mate!!!,,,,,,i had one of these!!,,,,fitted an fmf fatty pipe to it,with power core 2 silencer ,,fitted a vortex dual ignition curve to it,,,, primary curve ashkanazi,,fast!!,,,,,,second curve broad for enduro,,,,racetech gold valves on the front end,,,,,..best bike i have ever ridden!!!!,,,,,could lift the front end in any gear,,,,,,am currently riding a 2016 ktm 250 exc ,,,,,trying to get it to do the same thing!!!,,,,too much top end!!!!
Ruben Solano do you have any problems with the carb or powervalve? I'm getting a 03 and I've seen vids of power valve problems. I've also heard that the carb is sooo hard to jet properly. Is this true?
Good vid, and great job to bring back to life a 2stroke, ive got a 4 and a 2 stroke bikes but deffenetly love riding my 2stroke, keep them 2 stroke alive no mater wat year prap prap prap
I have an 01'CR250R and at the ripe age of 47 I still put it through it's paces be it cross country or closed circuit all over the southeastern unites states. agreed - it's an addiction and it's been in my blood since my first CR in 1980 or 78' can't quite remember I'll til' my knees won't carry me any longer :-) thank you for the upload sir.
unibike69 I have a RM 250 I too am 47 and I love it I can t get enough of it. glad to see I am not the only crazy old man wanting to ride . its hard to find guys my age that ride . Cool video and I built my own clamps to get the dents out of my exhaust too. lol
birds of a feather, sir... :-) ice packs, aleve, and some tolerance allow us to continue the joys of our youth ;-) may your every day out there end with a smile. cheers.
You and Joey Mac should get together much respect brother I have the addiction is well 86 ATC 250 R I’ve had it since I was 15 and 36, sits right next to my 70 Chevelle
Once the 2 stroke gets under your skin you will never be able to turn your back on it. That crispy sound is like heaven to my ears. I fucking love my 2 strokes.
I have rode the later model 07 cr is very nice. im told 2000 2001 motor is the way to go because of the power valve set up. love the video. Rich for SD SoCal

Adam, this is the kind of video we wanna see, congratulations for this.
I'm brazilian and i'm a big fan of your channel, don't stop doing this.
After watching this I bought a 1999 CR250. It's my new project bike. I thank and blame Adam 😂

Thanks Adam......legend 👍
Long live the two stroke!
My bro talked me into getting a yz250 smoker and I've never looked back! It's so satisfying beating those expensive modern 4-strokes
That aint old! I'm rebuilding a 1995 CR250 Right now. She rips as is, just doesn't stop very well and shes super thirsty for oil. :) Nice rebuild!
07 old? hell, still riding my 01 RM 250. that Damn pipe needed help tho
I'm still riding me 88 cr125

facts bro I cant get enough of dirtbike videos
This might be the best dirt bike video on UA-cam.
my first ride on a good two stroke bike was a early 90's RM 250. One hell of a ride.the 250 two stroke bikes will always be a mean class of machines.
I ride an 07 husky 250. It's clapped out and worn beyond belief, but is so freaking fun! Braaaap. Love the two smokes.! She's old but I'll take it on any ride. Let's go ARiemann1!

I have a 03 CR250 I bought new..I've had 2 different bikes sense 1 4st 1 ktm 300 2st I keep coming back to the 03 honda best bike I've ever had.
that pipe came up amazing
yeah... that happens when you replace it with a new one.... Never saw him fixing it....
@@stevexxx6078
you can fix that lmao
he just straightened it and gave it to sanding&chrome plating
2 times cheaper than a new pipe
never heard of the word service?
This video is one of the reasons I aggressively pursued my desire to find, own, build and register my dream 2001 CR as a street legal enduro machine.
wish I could turn back time and have again my CR250R. Too much feelings seeing this vídeo, thanks a lot for sharing...
Very excited to watch the story of CR250 reconstruction! And... be perfect again.

That wheel lift off at the start is perfect!Straight gliding brapppppp @7:32
Dude had my 06 for about 2 years now will be keeping it no matter what but dude that pipe looked amazing that guy has serious skills
That pipe did look amazing but I thought you could get the equivalent of a mid-90’s works pipe for like $250 these days. Maybe he wanted to keep it as original as possible and keep the original pipe.
2007 is ancient? I have a 2001 CR250, still rips.
That's because that bike does rip.
Take the 01' 7 days a week. Or a clean 96' ; )
just bought a very clean 97' CR250 2 stroke... its awesome!
+J. B. I own one, same year ☺
mine is 96 and its the best! I had newer Huskies CRFs and KXs and this 96 is just awesome :)
I have an 07KX250 in my basement that is in boxes. Thanks for the inspiration

Velocity disorder is literally the best way to sum up that bike lol I’m definitely gonna use that saying more!
Good to see two strokes being maintained. Surprising how bad of shape that was in for a 2008.
Opferman Motors Dirtbiking and being ridden unlike yours
@@luke9299LOL ah, the internet idiots who dont even have a bike.
Outstanding - your videos keep getting better and better.

This perfectly explains the 2 stroke disease/addiction.
Keep up the great work!

I give my right arm for that 250r it was a badass bike after rebuild. Still riding my 87 kx125 oldschool
07 and 08 model 2 strokes, crap I have never ridden anything that new, I'm still stuck in the early 90's. Awesome bikes!
Finally back on a 2T this year with a 2017 KTM 300 XC. Love it! Great video!
Awesome did man. 2007 still doesn't seem old to me and I can keep up with and sometimes beat the 450A riders on my 06 YZ250 and I'm 34, a beaten n broken 34. Idc if I need a walker and a lift to get on my bike, I'll never quit riding.

What a sensational little movie, I loved it!
Once the 2 stroke gets under your skin you will never be able to turn your back on it. That crispy sound is like heaven to my ears. I fucking love my 2 strokes.
I had a -96 CR250 and loved it.
Please make more videos of the cr250r
Still riding my 97 love this video.
"...worn out blokes" ??? wish i was "worn out" like that... but "OBSOLETE BIKES" ?! NO WAY MAN ! what great machines ! and beautiful restoration,too.
I am powerless to overcome my Velocity Disorder, but behold, my joy is full.
Best video I've seen in ages. Good stuff
Outstanding video! I absolutely love this one!
I always dig watching your videos… You have inspired me to be a better filmmaker !
awesome vid bud,,love the cr..beast of a bike man.
HellYes Adam!! 2 strokes rule, and your right, the new bikes haven'tChanged THAT much especially in the 2t world. I love my YZ every ride!

Now I’m addicted! The best!
Insane quality video, this is turning into the best dirt bike pr0n I've ever watched! Makes me want to go out and ride now.
